General Apti Alaudinov, who was recently given a high-rank position in Russia’s Defence Ministry, stated that Russia will wage war until 2030 and its result will be the destruction of NATO.

Not only that, the European states will be begging Russia for protection.

"Russia will win in this special military operation and on all other battlefields. Yes, we will have to work hard until 2029-2030, but I can assure you that the outcome of this special military operation will be that the NATO bloc will cease to exist in the format in which it exists today. Most of those states, who today are running after America like mutts, will kneel down and swear an oath to Russia, asking to be accepted into our coalition,” Alaudinov said on the TV show of Olga Skabeeva.

Alaudinov, who is a close ally of Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of Chechnya, isn’t the only Russian official who talks about it.

Former president of Russia and #2 person after Putin in Russia’s Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, talks about it in most of his late-night posts. Medvedev also regularly threatens to nuke London, Paris, Berlin, Netherlands, Washington, New York, and so on.

Vladimir Putin repeats in all his long speeches that his goal is to destroy the current rule-based world order. It’s even spelled out in Russia’s foreign relations doctrine.

Russia’s idea of the world is “the Russian world” — all Russian officials are very clear about that.

Vladimir Putin and his oligarchic clique had built their regime in Russia on revanchism, territorial grabs, and perpetual war on the West, creating a permanent threat to Russia’s neighbors and world security in a whole.
